I wanted to read this because Rod Taylor starred in two productions, one for the John Alden Company on stage in Sydney, the other an adaptation for Playhouse 90 in 1959. It’s a comedy of manners set at a house, centered around the upcoming marriage of the daughter of an underwear manufacturer to the son of a lord. There is lots of funny talk and bantering – but it doesn’t have a strong plot. Three people drop in – two of them literally, in a plane – and there are various proposals and lots of talk about marriage and family. Great female characters – and other characters too, but it does drag.
